Fortunately, there will be alternatives.

Sure... just tell us what ‘hate speach’ is first.

Is it just disagreeing with Democrats?

Seems that the birth of this country was deeply rooted in a tradition that you could offend your neighbor and not go to prison.

"Sure... just tell us what ‘hate speach’ is first."

In the EU "hate speech" is reporting on the crimes committed by muslim immigrants or objecting to the policies which brought them there. I wish that was an exaggeration or sarcasm but it's absolutely true.
